The Tessent® Scan and ATPG course will drive the development of your skills and knowledge in scan and ATPG design utilizing the Tessent Scan, Tessent FastScan™, and the DFTVisualizer. The knowledge gained for generating test patterns in this class is directly applicable for generating test patterns for designs utilizing Tessent TestKompress. ModelSim® is used to simulate test patterns to identify potential issues (mismatches) between the expected results from pattern generation and the Verilog simulation results. During this course you will insert full scan in a design using Tessent Scan, and create high quality test patterns using the ATPG. You will also learn about ATPG compression techniques including an introduction to Tessent TestKompress.

The hands-on labs are designed to reinforce key concepts through practical experience and to develop proficiency with the Mentor Graphics Tessent tool suite under the guidance of industry-expert instructors.
